Pledge Drive Update
Today marks the final day of the Baseball Musings Pledge Drive. The time to make your donation is now. So far, 165 readers donated $3503. Thanks to all, including those who donated anonymously through Amazon.
I'd love to see the donor total reach 200. The individual donations don't need to be big. The average donor is giving better than $20. Google Analytics shows that over 42,000 unique visitors read Baseball Musings so far during March. These readers could help support the site at a much lower level and make a huge difference. There have been a few pledges at $5 or less. Ten percent of readers donating at that level would double the dollar amount donated so far. Don't let these 165 readers support the site by themselves.
If you enjoy this site, if you use the tools such as the Day by Day Database, consider a donation. If you like the opening day coverage and live blogging, find $1 in your wallet. Any amount helps. If everyone who visits in March donates $1, I can run this site for a year. For $10 this site can run indefinitely.
And, in best NPR fashion, there are premiums. For a donation of $50, you will be able to dedicate a post. The dedication should be in good taste and may contain a hyperlink. For a contribution of $500, you can join Jan in Wellesley and Jack Spellman as a Patron on the side bar for two years, including a hyperlink. A new premium is The Baseball Economist: The Real Game Exposed
, donated by author J.C. Bradbury of Sabernomics. The next three readers donating $75 or more receive a copy of this fantastic book.
Donations can be made via Amazon, PayPal or Click and Pledge. Just click on the button of choice below. There are a number of people who won't use PayPal, and Amazon limits contributions in a one month period. Click and Pledge will process a credit card without making you sign up for an account.
Thanks to all my readers for your visits, your comments, and for making this site a success!
